GENDER STEREOTYPING refers to the practice of an ascribing to an individual man or
woman specific attributes, characteristics or roles by reason only to feel accepted in the society.
This may lead to discrimination and unequal treatment to all members.

to feel bullied or discriminated? How did it affect you?

2. What do you think is the reason why a family member discriminates another family
member based on their gender?

family take in order to confront this issue?

Honesty and sincerity is a must. God bless you dear respondent!

1. There are often times that people like me, having different gender role and identity or part
of the LGBTQIA+ community, are being discriminated by the people who does not
support this community leading them to use labels as a euphemism and an insult instead
of normalizing the terms. I remember the time when I felt embarrassed of being labeled
as "feminine" because of my soft actions and eventually made fun out of. At that young
age, I experienced being conscious of the things I do and my confidence at that time went
down. Eventually, I used that experience for me to find myself, boost my confidence,
know my worth and that gender has nothing to do with the abilities and capabilities I
have as an individual. The huge impact for me also is that I used this experience for me to
be stronger, to accept myself and truly know my own identity in the gender spectrum.

2. For me, family members discriminate their own family member with different gender
role or identity because of the norms we are only used to, that male should be masculine
and has to be with the female as their partner and that female should be feminine and has
to be with the male as their partner. It also has to do with religious belief of the Christian
community, wherein Adam and Eve are the solely basis of the gender role and identity
which is now believed by many people, that God only created man and woman with its
own distinctive characteristics. This is why most of the households reject the unusual.
Ignorance of the topic can also be one of the reasons why most of them do not support
and accept people fighting for their rights and true identity.

3. Not only my family but every household should be knowledgeable about this topic for
them to accept and support their family member/s with different gender role or identity
because by having the knowledge about this topic, it will become clear and easy for them
to accept and support the community. They should know that we deserve to be free and
have equal rights for us to live freely and fairly. They should also support the
LQBTQIA+ community for us to get the chance to live with peace, equality, equity, and
have justice. By supporting us also with the things we do in LGBTQIA+ community
wherein we fight for the House Bill no. 4982 or “An Act Prohibiting Discrimination on
the Basis of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity or Expression (SOGIE) and Providing
Penalties, equality bill to become a law is also helpful not only for the LGBTQIA+
people but all of us people who experience discrimination or bully for expressing oneself
and that we will have the justice we deserve.

1. What are the factors that your family say to you based on your gender that may lead you to feel
bullied or discriminated? How did it affect you?
Sometimes my older relatives say that girls should do household chores because someday it will be our
duty, they do not support the thought if being a working wife that much. They cling to traditional set up
where the wife takes care of the house while the husband provides.
2. What do you think is the reason why a family member discriminates another family member
based on their gender?
On my case, I think it’s because of the custom that my elder grew up in.
3. Knowing that there are negative impacts of gender stereotyping, what actions does your family
take in order to confront this issue?
We talk, not in a way that we disrespect each other but a way where we speak out our thoughts but still
being sensitive to our words and how we say it.

1. My mom always say to me that I should dress like a lady, which i prefer to not wearing to exposing
clothes. She often asks me why am I wearing those kinds of clothes and it appears to me that wow this is
not a lady-like for them. Sometimes those things put my ego in line. It hurts and annoying.
2. Basing on my opinion and observation, the reason why family members discriminate their co-member
based on their gender because it has already been set long ago that there is gender material-appropriate or
gender role-appropriate views. It happens to be stereotypical in the field of genders because Ifugao people
are conservative.

1. What are the factors that your family say to you based on your gender that may lead you to feel
bullied or discriminated? That. How did it affect you?
-The factors that my family have said against me is the time I consume when I do things. they say that we,
women are so slow in working heavy task. Strength. They say that I should have muscles since I’m the
oldest in the fam so I could help since we don't have men in our fam.
2. What do you think is the reason why a family member discriminates another family member based
on their gender?
-I think it is because of their expectation that they have. They expect their family members act like their
gender but got so disappointed when they turn the other way around. Another is because they are different
from them, they believe that we have different roles to play so we should act upon them.

• Family Status
a. Nuclear family

1. I think the factors that my family say or tell me that lead me to feel bullied or discriminated is, us
women are the ones who do almost all of the household chores, they think that women should do all the
works at home while taking care of everyone in the family and they think that the household chores are
just easy. This mindset makes me feel bad and upset because it is so unfair and wrong.

2. Us Ifugao's are not really open-minded. Whatever our grand grand grand parents told their children it
will also be passed to their childrens up to their future childrens. They think that there is a specific work
or role for a woman and a man.

3. My parents are very open to us,they also give us the freedom to do what we want and they also try to
give tasks for the guys to do, as they don't do whatever the girls do, so that atleast we will both do
something

b. FEMALE:3

Family Status:
a. Nuclear or complete family

1. What are the factors that your family say to you based on your gender that may lead you to feel
bullied or discriminated? How did it affect you?
*Bullying and discrimination of gender in our house do not actually happen but the view on the roles of
each gender is strongly practiced which I do not agree. For example, girls should do the laundry and such.

2. What do you think is the reason why a family member discriminates another family member based
on their gender?
*It is because of factors that affects their personality, views and opinions that they end up judging another
person, especially a family member, basing on the standards set out by certain factors.

3. Knowing that there are negative impacts of gender stereotyping, what actions does your family take
in order to confront this issue?
*Sometimes, we recognize each other's responsibilities in the household and we tend to help each other.
They don't really confront the issue about gender, we just adjust our opinions and make things at ease.

Family Status: Nuclear Family

1. Based on my gender, my family tells me that the society's standards on beauty is likely to cause me
insecurity. However, they're positivity about it has led me to not be affected by it much.

2. The reason why family members tend to discriminate another member is because of how they are
given a set of expectations based on their gender. These expectations are further reinforced by society
itself.

3. My family takes actions on the negative impacts of this by being more open-minded and accepting
towards everyone.

 Male: 0
 Female: 2
 3rd Gender: 1

C- Extended Family

1. In my case, they didn't say anything based on my gender identity, they accepted me fully.

2. I don't know the reason why but I think for me, they don't accept their son/daughter because maybe
they expected a lot from their child.

3.I think confronting is not the best solution. Just be yourself and let your family accept you as who you
are because no matter what happen, you're all one, as one family, and I think this is the best solution.

bullied or discriminated? How did it affect you?

- as woman, lady or a girl with two older brothers my family expects me to be proper and well behaved

only women do house chores and why do only men be allowed to come home late at night

their gender?

- in our society specially here in the province where most people are religious, they strongly believe that

open to other genders and doesn't really understand or simoly doesn't want to understand that there
people have different ways how they want to live their life or people are diverse?

1. What are the factors that your family say to you based on your gender that may lead you to feel
bullied or discriminated? How did it affect you?
- My parent never said anything to me because of my gender that lead to discrimination or bullying. We're
all girls, as long as we dont get pregnant and finish school with good grades then its fine.

2. What do you think is the reason why a family member discriminates another family member
based on their gender?
The usual, the person is either ashamed, disgusted or loaths the other family members' gender in general.

3. Knowing that there are negative impacts of gender stereotyping, what actions does your family

My family never treated someone differently because of their gender (atleast thats why i know). And i
think its because they hate people who are like dat like yung mga nagddiscriminate. based on my
observations, they treat other people based on how those people treat them. In short, they dont give a
single fuck about other peoples gender.

1. women are tasked to do the house chores along with taking care of the family. it is discriminating that
my family thinks that as women we should be the ones who are tasked to do all of the house chores and
that the men of the family can be as lazy as they can be, which is a wrong mindset because all of us
should be tasked with different chores and not only the women.
2. for me i think that the kind of mindset that our parents or older relatives had are due to the teachings of
their parents that was passed on from them. they think that it is normal to think that women have their
fixed given roles and men have their fixed given roles. another reason is that maybe they themselves have
experience being discriminated due to their gender and they merely practice it base on their experience.
3. my parents know that they should not be so biased so they let us choose our own career paths. they
distribute the tasks as much as possible. they give us the freedom to choose whatever clothes that we
would like to wear.

1. Nothing. They don't say anything about genders specially because I have cousins in the
LGBTQA+ community and I think they think there are huger problems to handle so why make
gender a problem as well? A family member is a family member no matter what. Also, every
gender have its role but that doesn't mean another gender cannot help with another gender's role.

2. A family member discriminates another family member based on their gender because of the
beliefs in their religion.

3. The actions my family take in order to confront this issue is by teaching us, the children, to
respect everyone and be open-minded. Males can be feminine and women can be masculine.

1. Some factors include attitude and responsibilty. Because of how women were depicted back then as
household responsible, I as a woman experience discrimination from my family also whenever I fail to
do my tasks as a woman. It affected me in a way that I should perform better in order to satisfy them.

2. The main reason of discrimination would be the family's status. To others who are well known, it
would be an act of embarasment towards the reputation of their family.

3. There are times I consider their words as acceptable but there are also limitations for it. Therefore
what a family does is to correct the other one.
